Hi Yulian,

Is this property with or without title? Is this property one which is Malay Reserve or is purchased by the Bumiputera buyer with a bumiputera discount? Is this property leasehold or freehold?

If the property is with title, do a land search and you can see whether there are an "restriction on interest" which means whether there are any restrictions on who the buyer should be. If it is a leasehold property then you will have to apply to the land office for consent. If it is Malay Reserve then the title will say so too. In this case, you cannot purchase this land.

If it is without title, the write to the Developer or the Owner of the Master Title or their confirmation as to whether you can purchase the land and whether the unit is a bumi quota. If the property is leasehold and in WP, you have to get the Land Office consent but if it is in Selangor, no such consent id required.

If the previous owner just purchased with a bumi discount, there is no restriction for you to purchase unless his unit is also a bumi quota unit.

I know the above might be confusing, but if you give me the answers to the questions in the first paragraph, I might be able to elaborate further.

Regards

Dear Yuliang,

The land search can be done at the land office. In your case if the title is HS(D) you do the land search at the Shah Alam Land Office. It costs RM30 to do it. If it is freehold, there is no restriction for you to purchase. The seller probably bought it at a bumiputra discount. Do the land search to confirm.


To Gamenoob,

Of course there is land "without title". The word is of course used to indicate that the property does not have an individual title. A lot of apartments and condos do not have individual titles and only when the strata title is issued, then the property is considered "with title". A property that is "with title" and "without title" have different legal effects.

Okay then, so based on your explanation on what you mean by "No Title Doc", IMO only lands which have not been alienated by the government are lands with no title doc.
